Thank you, Mr. Chair. Actually, those consultations should be almost finished by now, actually. What I can say, Mr. Chair, is I heard that there was some contention about them, and I had my own contentions about them.

We were -- my understanding is that when those agreements were first done, it was agreements bilateral, not trilateral. The NWT wasn't part of the discussions. It was those Indigenous governments and Canada. And we had to fight to get at that table. And what -- when I first took over -- and that was just at the beginning of the consultation, it was kind of a signed deal, the Indigenous governments from the other jurisdictions asked me, how do you think the Indigenous governments in the NWT will take this? And my answer to them, because I like to be honest, was probably the same way you would take it when we come in to your land.

So I think that there was -- I'm looking forward to seeing the report. I'm not sure if we'll get the consultation or if that's just federal government's going to get that. Martin might be able to speak more to that. But I do think there will be some issues.

But I've also been talking about the Indigenous -- to the Indigenous governments here. If other jurisdictions are allowed to do that because of their hunting rights, then why aren't we looking at that as well? And I have heard from some of the governments that they will be looking at that, because hunting didn't stop at borders. Those borders are defined by -- God knows who? But it wasn't Indigenous people. So if it's good for the goose, it's good for the gander. So I've been telling Indigenous groups here, look south, my friends, look south.

Mr. Chair, I'm not sure if Martin could expand if we're going to actually see the results of that consultation piece or if that just goes to the federal government. But I wouldn't mind asking him through you.
